Pro Bowl in Hawaii

HONOLULU (AP) -- Brandon Marshall caught six passes for 176 yards and a Pro Bowl-record four touchdowns and the AFC used a second-half surge to beat the NFC 59-41 on Sunday.

The Miami Dolphins wide receiver had a touchdown catch in each quarter, including an early 74-yarder and a 3-yarder in the fourth, in a game filled with highlight-reel catches. He was selected the game's MVP and his four TD catches set a Pro Bowl record.

It was clear from the start, it was Marshall's day. He hauled in a deflected, go-ahead 47-yard TD pass from Andy Dalton , while on his back, to give the AFC a 38-35 lead late in the third quarter. It was Marshall's third TD catch of the game, tying Jimmy Smith 's Pro Bowl record set in 2004.

Dalton went 7 of 9 in the game for 100 yards and two touchdowns.  Bengals receiver AJ Green caught a TD pass from Ben Roethlisberger in the first quarter.
